🛠️ Step-by-Step Instructions: Adding a New Website

  1. Navigate to Websites in the sidebar.
  2. In the Add Website card:
    • Domain Name: Type your domain (e.g., mycoolsite.com). Do not include http:// or www.
    • Owner User: Select the account owner from the dropdown (or keep default admin).
    • PHP Version: Select your required PHP runtime from the dropdown (e.g., PHP 8.2 or PHP 8.3).
    • Document Root: Auto-fills as /www/wwwroot/mycoolsite.com. You can customize this if you need a custom directory.
  3. Click the blue Add Website button.
  4. BoostonCP immediately creates the document root directory with correct permissions (chown -R www:www), provisions the Nginx virtual host, assigns a dedicated PHP-FPM pool, and reloads web services without downtime.
  5. The new domain appears instantly in the Websites Directory table below.
